Gold Coast should definitely hold onto their number 5 pick. The Suns definitely hold the cards in any discussion and should try and low ball Collingwood as much as possible. He would be a handy player to have and it seems like the most likely option currently, however the situation you have presented could occur where he wishes to move back.
What Melbourne clubs do you think should have a crack at him?
Unfair treatment of Adam Treloar will cripple Collingwood
It actually sickens me how they are treating Treloar. He has shown nothing but love and loyalty to the club and the club backstabs him like this. While I will admit I am not the biggest Collingwood fan, I would still expect better from a high level club.
Unfair treatment of Adam Treloar will cripple Collingwood
I agree with both berrlins and Peter, the Higgins and Treloar siutation are different. The Higgins situation is an agreement due to Higgins not cracking the side and trying to help the player find a team where he can get some solid minutes and make the best 22.
Treloar’s situation seems to be that the club just do not want him because he might struggle without his partner and child and they do not want to deal with those issues. However, as Peter said it smells a lot like an excuse to dump Treloar’s salary since the club wanted to accomodate Dayne Beams and the Magpies are simply using the anxiety card as an excuse to try and dump his massive contract. While I do not wish to defend Richmond, the club has handled their situation right whereas Collingwood will not even offer a statement to clarify the rumours and making a messy situation worse, while tarnishing their image some more
Unfair treatment of Adam Treloar will cripple Collingwood
I agree about the message berrlins, Collingwood really need to clarify and have their say on the situation. The more reports that we hear, the worse the club looks. And while I respect your opinion and Treloar has said that he likes Melbourne, I believe if he does not feel wanted then why would he not want to go and be in a place where he can spend more time with his family? Brisbane have already been ruled out so that leaves Gold Coast. I could see him heading to a club in Melbourne though that could contend, major problem with that though is his salary.
Collingwood definitely ruined their chances at getting a good return with all these reports, if rival clubs know you do not want the player then they hold all the cards
Unfair treatment of Adam Treloar will cripple Collingwood
I agree, I think a major change is in order to fix the culture of the club. A new president could be a good start
Unfair treatment of Adam Treloar will cripple Collingwood
I agree John, Collingwood are a bit deficient in areas. They do not seem to be a big free agent club, despite the history and massive fan base and their lack of support for their players is a major issue. This Treloar situation looks really bad on the club
Unfair treatment of Adam Treloar will cripple Collingwood
It is a shame, it would been great to see what both players could have done if they both stayed at their respective clubs
What if Gary Ablett stayed at Geelong?
I would love to see Chris Paul head there but his contract is just too massive. Rondo is a better fit on the Lakers in my opinion than Rose, we have already seen how Rose went on a LeBron team during his stint with the Cavs
Derrick Rose to the Lakers: Good for everyone?
Oh definitely, Ablett could have been the difference maker in a lot of those Finals they have lost. Unfortunately, we can only predict what could have been
What if Gary Ablett stayed at Geelong?
His best years were certainly with a bad side which is unfortunate. I think the Cats could potentially qualify as a dynasty, Richmond if they win tomorrow will and Hawthorn’s three-peat will cement them in history as one of the best teams out
What if Gary Ablett stayed at Geelong?
Definitely agree, losing Ottens really hurt the team when up against quality ruckman like Sandilands. Spending his whole career with Geelong definitely would have made the Little Master more of a legend than he already is.
What if Gary Ablett stayed at Geelong?
I agree wholeheartedly Boo. Ablett re signing with Geelong could have resulted in far more premierships, however we all know that Geelong puts the team first as you have said with the team making this years Grand Final after losing Tim Kelly and the team winning the premiership its first year without Gary Ablett.
It will be a sad day tomorrow and I hope to see Geelong get up for the star
What if Gary Ablett stayed at Geelong?
I would love to see Ben Simmons over on the Warriors, would certainly be interesting to have him run the floor for the team
Season review: Golden State Warriors
Thank you Trent, the Warriors have a few interesting moves they could make. Interesting to see what could happen
Season review: Golden State Warriors
Very bold predictions, I see some of the Eastern teams improving to take on the Heat. The Bucks will be trying to go big in order to keep Giannis on board and the Celtics are only getting better. I don’t think the East will be that straight forward. As for the West, if the Lakers can keep their squad together they are likely to repeat in my opinion. Having LeBron and Davis alone gives them enough to make a deep run.
The Warriors definitely need to improve the bench and I believe you are right about Luka winning MVP. The Nets will also be interesting to watch this season, they could be really good but they could also very easily just be average.
Great article!
Five way too early predictions for the 2021 NBA season
Spurs and the Magic are both intriguing teams since they both have a lot of pieces to work with. DeRozan and Aldridge either need to move on or take a back seat for the young players development while I think trading some players will benefit the Magic in the long run. I love Jonathan Isaac and Mo Bamba and think they’ll be players that will be deadly for the team in a few years
NBA offseason: Two franchises that need to start rebuilding
Great article! That game 7 in 2016 was unreal to watch. Such a great game that had me on the edge of my seat, even though I do not support either the Cavs or the Warriors
Ranked: The five best NBA finals games from the last five seasons
I agree on points 1 and 3. If a player has given a sizeable contribution to the team, they should definitely be rewarded with a premiership medal. I’ve always thought it was a bit stiff for players to miss out simply because they missed one game.
And point one definitely needs changing, half the commentators on the list barely get a word in and the Channel 7 commentary feels so bias at times. However, I do not agree with point 2 simply because the idea of forcing the losers to do all that is a great way to light a fire under them to come back bigger and better than they have played already
Three things the AFL can learn from the NBA finals
We definitely need some gritty players in the midfield. While De Goey is a great talent, I do not believe he is the answer for our club. I could be wrong, but we seemed to get flogged in clearances against the Tigers so improving our midfield is crucial
St Kilda are on the right track, but how do they take the next step?
Jimmy Butler has been an absolute gun this postseason and especially during the NBA Finals. Now that the series is 3-2, if the Heat win Game 6 then we definitely have a ball game. Currently though, I am still backing the Lakers to get it done
Banged-up Heat not done yet
It is definitely going to be an interesting Western Conference next season. Barring any injuries, the Warriors will be back in the hunt, along with maybe the Thunder or the Jazz sliding out of the Playoffs.
Pelicans and Suns are also interesting young teams which ooze talent. I see one of them cracking into the top 8 next season
The NBA's wild Western Conference outlook
Could be huge for the Lions. They would certainly make their deadly forward line even deadlier, it all depends on who they would have to give up for him
Daniher nominates Brisbane as new club for 2021
I’m tipping Richmond and Geelong. As much as I want my Saints to get up, I reckon we are outclassed, especially since we are missing a few key players. This season has been a great improvement though and I am proud of the boys
2020 AFL semi-finals preview
It is appalling treatment. Gold Coast have been the team most talked about in discussions and the team whom Collingwood think they can get the most return. However, Treloar could also request to stay in Melbourne. I personally hope he finds a better home that will treat him right and that Collingwood get little to no compensation for treating a loyal player in such an appalling manner
